This article employed VMD tool and force field simulation theorem for protein folding solution. This technique consists of two components: finished protein folding process and found out active sites for drug docking. The goal of protein folding simulation is to search the global energy minimum location with stability state, and the when the protein is finished the folding task, I can find out the active sites for pre‐process of ligand protein docking. This work succeeds in citing minimum energy to support this theme. The VMD is a molecular visualization program for displaying, animating, and analyzing large bimolecular systems using 3D graphics and built‐in scripting. In force field, I survey many force statistics methods, such as AMBER, MMFF, this work endeavored to predict the structures of the protein folding. Protein folding is a nonlinear dynamics chaos system; the VMD tool and force field simulation were used to attempt to find the optimal solution with low cost and accelerated folding by using. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
